BSG Sub Rewatch Threads

Beginning in Jan 2014, we watched and discussed one episode per week, starting from the very beginning. We watched the entire re-imagined series, the prequel series Caprica, and pre-prequel movie Blood & Chrome. We are currently watching the original series.

At Montreal Comic Con, James Callis mentioned that this episode was added because the network said that the show was getting too dark. They demanded an upbeat, "comedy" episode, and this is what they got.

Apparently, the producers had to constantly fight the network on how dark the show would get.

The wiki says there were some cuts to 33 and the miniseries such as Lee was supposed to see humans on the olympic carrier before they blew it up and Adama saying "and 10 suicides" when referring to the new body count.

I can't say I don't blame them. The show is very dark and heavy, which made it really hard for me to watch sometimes (suicides, terrorism, genocide, war, sacrifices etc.) even though it was great drama; Though this episode was kinda just a weird segue into trying to make things more cheerful.

I love how Ellen and Saul act toward one another. I've had several chances to meet both of them in real life and they meld together perfectly. One of the first scenes they had was Ellen wrapping her thighs around his head. When I met them both at Chicago comic con, they actually went up to each other and embraced very intimately despite having their own significant othes

In the words of Michael Trucco, if they had any more chemistry, they'd need lab coats.
